My husband and i have been trying to have a baby for the past 2 yrs, but unsuccessful. I have been to the doctors but nothing happen, i also did a HSG test but still nothing. My husband refuses to see a pathologist to test is sperm. Doctor tell me what else can i do?

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Before you start any treatment it is important to know your husband sperm count is normal or not. If that is not normal then he needs treatment. Whatever you take treatment it will do in vain. I suggest you to convince him, and also you may go for ovulation inducing Chat Doctor. This will help multiple follicles to mature and rupture. Thus increasing chances of pregnancy. Hope I have answered your query. Regards

my husband is having artial fib and he is wearing a holter monitor, but he only has episodes at night, never during the day, only at rest, he is exhausted, already suffers from low blood pressure, we re frustrated with our Cardiologist approach. He is 70 6 and generally healthy

For atrial fibrillation, very good treatment is available. Your cardiologist should focus, first on rate control which can be achieved with beta blockers like metoprolol, diltiazem or if blood pressure is low even if not having any episodes then tab digoxin or amiodarone. You asked your cardiologist to consider these options. Second important thing is anticoagulation which keeping blood thin otherwise it may lead formation of clot in heart and this clot may dislodge leading to stroke or paralysis. So discuss both these issues.Also, during the episodes take rest and lye Down.

I recently visited my doctor and was told that I have a hernia. My hernia is located above my penis in my pelvic area on the left side. Since receiving this hernia I have been having slight discomfort/slight pain in my left testicle that had not been there before. Is this a common thing or do I need to worry about something else?

Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short: If your hernia is reducing itself on lying down and your bowel movement is normal you need not worry. Explanation: As I told you, Chat Doctor. You need not worry if your hernia reduces itself(disappears itself) on lying down and if your bowel movement is normal. If not please visit your doctor. Hope this will help you. Good luck.

I am 60, had an x-ray done and it showed a mass on my lung. went for a ct scan it also showed a mass, but they said it was a tumor on my right rib cage, did a biopsy they said it was bening, going for surgery to remove it, it grew some what the dr. says he might be able to do it with a camera, but if he sees that is cancerous he will have to open remove it and send for a biopsy. Could this be cancerous even after the needle biopsy showed it was bening.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, this can still be malignant mass. What you had was not biopsy, it was FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology). In FNAC, needle is inserted into the mass and material is taken. So material is not representing whole mass, it represents only small part of mass. So FNAC can be false negative if tumor cells are not aspirated. And hence negative FNAC report does not rule out mass. Excision biopsy is complete excision of mass and send whole mass to histopathological examination. So this will be 100% confirmatory. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Here you're all symptoms direct or indirectly because of alcohol.... Here heart failure should be ruled out..... It can lead dizziness...... So for that ECG or echo need to be done to rule out cardiac cause.... You might have cirrhosis and portal hypertension as you are chronic Chat Doctor. .

Hi my husband got swelling on his lips and cheeks... Some time on the left side some time on right side cheek some time on top lip or bottom lip.... It started from January... Never this happend before... He got swelling 4-5 times now... He s eating piriton everyday but when this happened he takes 3 times a day... He s going for allergy test... Is it ok to eat piriton everyday and when he s going to allergy test how many day before he has to stop? What do you think for his swelling....

Hello, I can understand your concern. It seems that what your husband is experiencing is an allergic reaction only so it is good that you have already decided to go for allergy test. The allergy test will test blood and the report will show what substances are acting as allergen for your husband, and he will have to stop exposure to them. I would like to caution you that the future allergic reactions might be higher in severity than the episodes he is experiencing now. In addition, if he is having an allergic reaction now, you can continue portion till the reaction subsides. Then you can discontinue the medicine for 48-72 hours and go for allergy test. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your husband feels better soon. Best,

I ve had diarrhea for two solid months; it started suddenly. all blood work and stool tests are normal (with exception of lipase.)Primary found a lump on my colon, ct. looked normal.(small cyst on liver) Constant bloating, gas and pain along with distended stomach. Any ideas?

Hello! Thank you for the query. Lump in the large intestine should be verified with colonoscopy. It can be a polyp however colon cancer is also possible. Especially if you are older than 50. Bloating, diarrhea, distended stomach clearly indicate partial bowels' obstruction. It can be caused by colon cancer. So please do not ignore it. Visit your doctor and have colonoscopy done at first. If it shows nothing, stool tests should be done next. Hope this will help. Regards.

hi doctor My problem is i feel depressed and my face never glows and i am underweight .and the i think this is because my father was dead when my mother was 8-months pregnant . should this going to affect my body ?and i am abnormal ,am i?? why i m too skinny and socially feared? doctor please help me.

Hello dear, don't feel depressed,you are not abnormal. Try to be happy with what u r, then only your face will glow. Father expiring during mothers pregnancy is not the reason. Every individual has a constitution, which is fixed. If you are skinny, try gym and eat well, u will definitely put on wt. It is nothing to be socially feared of., so be happy and stay healthy. If u still want to overcome your depression, visit a psychiatrist.

My earholes begin to swell up when I wear earrings, and they form pus when I touch them. Is this because Im not wearing gold earrings or is it because Ive developed an infection?This has happened twice.I usually wear gold earrings and have been for 16 years.I wear plastic ear sticks too.

Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your question if you do not have swelling of ear holes and pus discharge while wearing gold and plastic earrings then the cause for swelling and pus discharge is due to allergic reaction with other metals which causes reaction when comes in contact with air and water and cause the symptoms that you are experiencing. As gold and plastic are inert materials they do not cause this reaction... I would suggest you to gently remove the earrings and clean the airholes with Betadine [provide iodine] solution and try to discharge pus as much as possible. After cleaning properly apply Triple Antibiotic Ointment over it. Repeat it at least twice a day. If it improves in 3 to 4 days its fine otherwise consult a physician, and he can advise you oral intake of antibiotics. Once the healing takes place it will be better to avoid wearing metallic earrings and wear only gold earrings and plastic if you wish to. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

Hello, I am nineteen, had all four of my wisdom teeth out over a year ago and now all of a sudden am experiencing a soreness behind my left molars. My cheek and jaw are a bit sore two, as well as the corner of my mouth getting sore and irritated. I have no idea why. The only thing I can think of is my teeth may be moving? I have never has braces so Im not sure if this is why. I have slight crowding in my bottom teeth, I dont know if that helps. I have also just started using this 5-minute speed Whiting Kit. Is this causing the pain/inflammation? Maybe Im allergic. Please let me know if someone can help. THANK YOU!

Hello, Soreness of teeth usually associated with-Decayed teeth. Regressive changes. Partially erupted wisdom teeth. Side effect of whitening kit used. I would advise you to visit a dentist and get an exact diagnosis of the problem.Meanwhile, intake of too cold/hot fluids has to be limited. Please do not use whitening kits without medical supervision. Use desensitizing toothpaste and avoid harsh brushing methods. Hope this helps.
